For both the beginner beadmaker or the very experienced lampworker the Oregon Regional Bead Society is a great resource. They meet the 3rd Sunday of each month - usually at Aquila Art Glass in NE Portland. Guest speakers are generally featured who also demonstrate their technique and bead wares. They also have a Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/oregonregionalbeadsociety. Carli Kruse is the featured speaker this month.
Classes are also offered by this group. I remember an excellent class I took in precious metal clay work several years ago at Aquila Art Glass offered by the ORBS. Much can be learned from this group.
